-with the green & red & flashing lights against the black sky --flying up 100 feet -
and then 2 feet from my face..

Hmm, what's the range like on the radio in these things? I'm not asking because my place is only half a mile from the naturists' beach but if the wind caught it and it happened to drift that way.....

 

[redbenjoe]

the range for the remote is about 600 feet -
and the 2.2 amp battery lasts about 20 minites

Cool toy...potential for bad intentions...high. I can see these being shot out of the sky as soon as someone who does not want to be a "star" realizes they may be getting "filmed". :mellow:

These are amazing and scary at the same time.
